AutoNation CEO Says Tesla’s Model S is The Best Electric Car He’s Driven, Superior to Fisker Karma

Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk says he wants to shift 5,000 examples of the new Model S electric saloon this year and four times that in 2013. It's a very ambitious target so, naturally, any endorsement is more than welcome; especially if it comes from the nation’s largest auto retailer.

Labeling it, “a first-rate car” and “the best electric car I've ever driven", does the job nicely, thank you. That’s exactly what AutoNation Inc. CEO Mike Jackson said after driving the car during his visit to a showroom near Tesla’s HQ on August 15, according to a Bloomberg News report.

You Can Now Buy a $100,000 Tesla S at the…Shopping Mall

If you are into cars, your next visit to the shopping mall may become a little more interesting - if Tesla Motors gets its way. On Friday, May 25, Tesla opened its first U.S. store of the year and its 22-second worldwide, at The Westchester shopping center in White Plains, New York.

Opening a car dealership in a mall sounds like a strange idea since nobody goes to a shopping center to buy a car, but according to George Blankenship of former Apple fame, that's the whole idea.
